This is my work area in about it's normal state, I don't let it get too disorganised as I can't find anything at all. People often ask me what type of computer I use and, like a lot of graphic artists, the tool of my choice is a Macintosh. I couldn't envisage using anything else and am an incorrigible 'Machead' !!

For the technical it's a MacPro 2 x 2.66Mhz dual core processors, 7 gigs of RAM, 4 x 250 Gig internal hard drives with two flat LCD screens a Dell 24" and an Apple 20" - I'm hoping to replace the Dell with a 30" Apple in 2008. Cost a fair bit but I spend a lot of time sitting in front of this lot and the quality, reliability and ease of use pays for itself - it's good gear.

Also I use an Epson 4800 printer and a Wacom Intuos 3 A5 drawing tablet.

The caricature of me on the wall was done by Vin Altamore of New Jersey, USA it's one of my favourites -check out his link.

Don't do an lot of animal caricatures - in fact I can't think of any - but I had to feature a Bobtail Goanna in a Christmas caricature for some one who has a stifling fear of these small inoffensive creatures. Sadly their habit of sunning themselves on bitumen roads brings about the demise of lot of them.

The client loved the caricature and asked where I got the Bobtail clipart from - cheeky bugger !!

A bit of self indulgence here - as a life long Tractor Boy who has kept the faith despite being 12,000 miles from the hallowed Portman Road turf and the fact we haven't had much to cheer over the last few years - check out this sensational goal from Pablo Counago
